Daria escaped a past of danger and found respite in beautiful Ephesus, a trading center on the Aegean coast, serving as tutor to Lucas, the wealthy merchant who rescued her. But the darkness she fled has caught up with her, and a group of sorcerers are gaining power. A strange group who call themselves followers of The Way-- including a man called Paul-- further threaten the equilibrium. When authorities imprison Lucas for a brutal crime, Daria wonders if even Paul's God can save him. Then she uncovers a shocking secret that could change everything.
